It may not be a league double in the traditional sense, but don't tell that to Tottenham supporters who are celebrating the culmination of their club's season series with Manchester United.

For the first time since 1989-90, Spurs were able to avoid defeat in both of their league encounters with United this season after Sunday's 1-1 draw with the Red Devils followed up a 3-2 victory at Old Trafford.

Sunday's match, made picturesque by the falling snow at White Hart Lane, became a Tottenham classic after Clint Dempsey netted a last-gasp equalizer.

So what can be taken away from Spurs' dramatic draw?

Here are five lessons we learned from Sunday's draw with the league leaders.

Scott Parker Can Fill Sandro's Shoes

When Sandro's knee injury ruled him out for the remainder of the season, Tottenham were faced with a problem.

Sandro's importance to the club was clear; after all, the Brazilian midfielder had played in all of the club's Premier League matches this season and provided the side with a strong defensive presence and flair.

The obvious replacement in the center of midfield was Scott Parker. However, while Parker would certainly be a good option at his best form, the Englishman is only just coming back from an Achilles injury he suffered in the summer.

Luckily, Scottie proved his worth against Manchester United on Sunday, playing a gritty match and even marauding into the box at one point in the first half.

While Parker still wasn't ready to last the entire 90 minutes, it was a good testament to his ability to settle back into his role in the center of the midfield.

Perhaps Spurs should still look for a bit of depth at the position in case of injury trouble, but Parker has proved that he will fill Sandro's shoes quite well.

Lennon and Bale Are a Lethal Combo

The fact that Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale are a lethal combination was not exactly a revelation from this match. However, this fact was certainly reaffirmed in this match.

When the two are performing at their free-flowing best at the same time, the Spurs attack is irresistible.

What makes their partnership even more deadly, though, is how hard it is for the opposition to deal with them.

On Sunday, Manchester United came into White Hart Lane with a clear strategy of marking Gareth Bale out of the contest after the Welshman ran riot at Old Trafford in September.

The Red Devils did a good job of it, too, preventing Bale from having the sort of influence one would have expected from a Spurs side that possessed the ball as much as they did. (For more of a tactical analysis of the strategy United employed against Bale, read this)

Luckily, Spurs' other winger took the opportunity to step his game up and influence the match with his darting runs.

With these two healthy and on form, it's hard to imagine Tottenham lacking goals.
